The world in the shadow

Raising Hell

The  night after we saved Simon I was lying in my bed having a nightmare. I'm dreaming about a warlock or something then my dream changes to Alec and Jace and then again it changes in a dream about the women and man with a little girl I see the women getting murdered in front of my eyes and then I wake up. When I open my eyes I see Alec and Jace both without their shirts on sitting in front of me. ''Jace, Alec'' I say with tears in my eyes. ''you okay?'' Jace asks. I shake my head and they hug me then. I look down and we three see that I'm sitting in my pyjama. We all blush. ''I think we need to talk about—'' Alec begins. ''I think it's better you two begin to explain everything'' I say and they nod. ''you already know what a parabatai is. but shadowhunters are divided into groups. You have mates and shadowhunters who don't. Alec, you and I are mates of eachother. Our relation ship is special. Mates marry eachother as soon as they're almost eightteen'', ''so if I understand what you are saying. You two are married'', ''yes'' Alec says and goes further ''we are married but we are still looking for our second mate, you.  When we find the one then we get married with a ceremony and are bound by life with each other.'' I let everything sink in and then Alec and Jace both kiss me on my cheeks and Jace says ''we will leave you to it'' I nod and then Simon comes running in while the boys are still in my room. ''Clary is having a nightmare'', he says breathless. ''so? Wake her up'' I say. He begins to jog  back towards Clary's room. I put on my robe and walk behind Simon to Clary's room. I enter her room and see them talking. I block their conversation out and then Simon asks ''do you two trust them?'', ''I think so. I mean they saved our lives'' Clary says. ''I trust them with my life'' I say and I blocked their conversation again as i'm not really interested in it. ''she called him Magnus'' Clary says. ''Magnus Bane?'' Simon and I ask as Clary looks at us. ''maybe, how do you know'' Clary says. ''I heard it from the vampire. You know the shockingly hot one, it was... Sorry, uh, Camille.. she was super pissed at this Magnus Bane guy when I told her that your memories were taken.'', ''Magnus Bane is my friend Clary, the one I was talking about a week ago'' I say , ''Ow yeah, Simon, you are amazing!'' Clary says with a smile to him and almost ignoring my comment . ''I will go get Alec and Jace, you two get Izzy'' I say to them. I walk straight to the boys room. ''Alec, I need-'' I stop talking ones I see Alec and Jace on the bed making out. They pull away from each other and I look blushingly away feeling very hot. ''I'm sorry I will come back later'' I say and when I want to walk away I feel a hand pull me back. I see both boys worried in front of me both again shirtless. I look down and the boys look also down. I blush and then Jace says ''what's wrong? Are you hurt?'', ''no I'm not hurt, Clary knows who took her memories. Some guy named Magnus Bane who is technically my friend who I've know for a very long time'' I explain them. ''then we are going to make a trip'' Alec says. ''you did great'' Jace says and both kiss my cheek again. ''maybe you two should put on a shirt'' I say. The look smirking at me and Alec says ''I would rather not, also I like the view, you to Jace?'' while smirking. I look down and Jace says ''I do to Alec, I do to'' I blush and then walk to the closet. ''here are you shirts boys'' and give them to each one. I walk away with a smirk and hip swaying a little more. I look over my shoulder and wink to the boys before walking to my room to change in clothes but not before catching the boys going red.

''the mundane is leaving'' Izzy says while walking in. ''maybe that is for the better'' I say and walk downstairs. Clary looks at me and says then ''tell Simon it's safer for him to stay here'', ''I don't think that, Clary'' I say while looking at her. Simon looks thankful at me and Clary glares at me. I look down and walk away. Jace pulls me in a hug when he sees I have tears in my eyes. ''You know you couldn't have hold him here against his will. He would eventually leave'' Jace murmers in my ear.

Soon we all are standing or sitting around a table. Clary, Izzy and I are sitting on the table. Jace and Hodge are standing and Alec was sitting in a stool and has one arm raped around me. ''Magnus Bane. He's over 300 years old. And as you can see, he's not exactly shied away from the pleasures of every century'' Hodge says while showing some pictures of Magnus Bane. ''his tastes are both exquisite and quite excessive''. ''looks like the downworlder David Guetta'' Clary says. ''Guetta's already a downworlder. Vampire. Ever seen him in a daylight'' Izzy says. ''can you two focus'' Alec says ''this is not a joke''. ''Someone needs to get slayed'' Izzy says with a smile on her face and looking at me and Jace. ''Alec's right. Magnus is one of the most powerful warlocks I've ever known. He has a deep mistrust of Shadowhunters'' Hodge says. ''well, then why did he help my mom remove my memories? Isn't she a Shadowhunter?'', ''yes, one of the best'' Hodge says ''just like yours'' he says while looking at me. But 'help' might not be the most accurate word. Now did Magnus provide a service for Jocelyn? Perhaps. But more than likely, your mother paid Magnus handsomely for his magic. ''warlocks usually require payment before they help anyone with anything'' Jace says while sitting down next to Alec and also putting an arm around my waist. ''word from the Clave is that most warlocks have gone into hiding since Valentine began hunting them'' Alec says. ''Valentine must be searching for the warlock, where did Jocelyn-'' before Hodge finishes his sentence his rune begins to burn. ''Hodge, your rune, are you okay?'' I ask. He nods and then Clary goes straight to business. ''so how do we find Magnus?'' she asks. ''We don't Magnus finds us. We'll set up a meeting, somewhere protected. Lure him out of hiding'' Jace says. ''and I know exactly where we do it'' Izzy says standing up and grabbing the tablet of Hodge. She shows us a flyer of a rave. Hodge chuckles and Jace says ''nice, Izzy'', ''and where'd you get that?'' asks Alec. I put my hand on his shoulder and he relaxes a little. ''during my surveillance of the downworlders. From what I hear, Magnus likes to party'' Izzy says smirking. ''he'll never go for it. Not whit Valentine trying to kill him'' Alec says. ''of course he will. He'll blend in. Hide in plain sight'' Jace says. ''I don't know, it seems-'', ''Trust me. If Magnus is coming out of hiding, he's going to one of the biggest parties of the year'' Izzy says while cutting of Clary. '' he will come, mention my name and he will be there'' I add. ''never underestimate Magnus hedonism. Or his greed. Come with me'' Hodge says and begins to walk to the training room. Alec helps me of the table and we all walk behind Hodge. Hodge crouches down and opens a kind of looking safe thing open in the floor. He picks up a necklace and shows it at us. ''is that real?'' Izzy asks full amazement. ''a four karat, unheated Burmese ruby. And this necklace has a special meaning to Magnus Bane as it was a gift from him to his then lover, Camille Belcourt.'' Hodge explains. ''What, Camille and Magnus were lovers?'' Clary asks. ''Warlock gets around'' I say with a laugh. ''Magnus bought it in 1857 for the price of his London townhouse. Now the jewel is enchanted by a spell that alerts the wearer to the presence of demons'' explains Hodge. ''it's beautiful'' Izzy says. ''Magnus has longed to reunite with his necklace. Offer it to him. He might just take the bait'' says Hodge. ''I'll send Magnus a fire message to arrange the meeting. We have to get to Magnus before Valentine does'' Jace says. Izzy then pulls me and Clary towards her room.
